Texas Shaped Waffle Maker?
So I love the texas shaped waffle makers at the Marriott's in Texas.
Asked the front desk folks at the TownePlace I was staying at and they come from their vendor and not sold to public.
So I figured I would see if anyone on flyertalk had any ideas on how to get one?
I have seen lots of the cheap ones, but looking for one of the heavy duty ones like at the Marriott.
Any help is appreciated.
Figure my next step if nothing else is to email each of the GM and hope for the best.

Texas Waffle Maker
I really liked them too - here's a "map" of my bike ride across Texas this year:

And they are available on Amazon, but not the heavy duty type that you rotate while it cooks.

On a flight, I sat next to a salesman who placed the Texas-shaped waffle makers in hotels. Interesting guy and job.
If it were up to him, I'm sure he would sell you one.

Looking for real version
I have seen lots of the ones posted, finding a Texas waffle maker is easy, finding a good one is the problem.
I am looking for the real deal Belgium waffle makers they sell to the hotels.

I have a Wyoming-shaped waffle maker at home. It's pretty awesome.

Sounds kind of small. Now if they had an Alaska one...but only one FS in the state...

Yeah, the FFI I stayed at in Texas in July had one of those. Had forgotten about that. Pretty cool
